EU Tire label explained

Similar to the energy label found on domestic appliances, the new EU tire label makes it easy to evaluate important safety and environmental aspects of a tire. Explore the links below to find out more.

Viewing tire label information

The EU tire label will be displayed as a sticker on all new tires from November 2012. All dealers are obliged to provide this information. You can also view EU ratings for each Sava tire on our website.

Label values shown are for illustrative purposes only. Values for a certain tire line/size may vary.

As much as 20% of your vehicle’s fuel consumption relates to the rolling resistance of your tires. This is the resistance that the tire encounters as it meets the ground. An easy-rolling tire requires less fuel, since a smaller amount of energy is wasted on friction and heat.

Fuel efficiency is rated using 7 different categories, ranging from A (most fuel-efficient category) to G (least fuel-efficient category). Category D is not used for passenger cars.
